With Mike Huckabee's recent surge in support comes increased examination of everything he's ever written or said. So, today it comes out that back in 1992 he suggested that AIDS was getting too much federal funding, that AIDS patients be quarantined, and that he opposed homosexuality.
A big deal? It will be to some, especially in the news media. Thing is, I suspect most Republicans agree with him when it comes to gay issues and AIDS funding (funding for cancer, anyone?); and as for the quarantine, he said what he said in 1992. We know much more about AIDS now than we did then.
UPDATE: Here's Huckabee's response, and it echoed what I thought he'd say above.
